IK summer '12

Tuesday, May 08, 2012

My interweave knits was delivered along with the warmer temps. Perfect timing.

I think I found something that I certainly want to look into knitting. I L O V E this sweater! "Nautical striping goes modern with super-skinny lines and neutral beige in the bethany wrap I-cord edging and a polo collar add weight and anchoring detail to the long flyaway fronts." This moved to the top of my list. (I really must show you what I am working on. So that I will actually work on it.)

I thought these darn beach umbrella's were just about the cutest things. Ever. (Except no pattern.) The article is great. All about "cool wool". Wool is back for summer.

And this cute little swaddling leaf blanket? Almost made me want to have another baby. Almost. Well, not really. Just made me want to hold one. I actually love the ages of my kids. 16, 14, 12. I have a driver!

I'm not usually a spring or summer knits fan, either, (though this year the spring issue was one I saved, ahem, ahem...) but agree that this one had some cute things, including that sweater/shawl! Can't wait to see what you're making!

I got my issue and loved the swadling blanket too! I have already started on a baby blanket for my niece's baby due in July though - must stick with the plan for now :o). My son is 16 as of last week and a driver as of yesterday and my daughter is 12. These are good ages, I agree!
